There’s nothing more relaxing than a good book. What about 100,000 good books? That might seem overwhelming, but Stanza certainly provides plenty of reading material. They also make it cheap material, since half of the titles offered are freebies. Trying to read that many books on a smaller screen could ignite a serious case of twitchy eye. The iPad might be just what this free app needs to get more speed-readers in their seats. Aside from eliminating the need to hit up the local library (or build one at home), this app offers customization. For instance, if you aren’t a fan of the original cover art, there’s a feature that allows users to scan and select something they think is more suitable.
